Issue Date
2015-05-26
Campaign
15S18/15V340
Description
An intermittent electrical connection caused by quality issues pertaining to conformal coat contamination and ribbon cable pin misalignment within the steering gear Motor may lead to a loss of the Motor position sensor signal that may result in loss of power steering assist. Ford is aware of 16 accident allegations and three injury allegations related to this condition in the vehicles included in this field action. Most of the accident allegations report that minor vehicle damage was incurred, typically either wheel damage resulting from contact with a curb or minor body damage. The injury allegations were all reported as minor with no indication that medical attention was sought for any of the injuries.
Safety Risk
In the event of a loss of power steering assist, the mechanical linkage between the steering wheel and the road is maintained at all times. The steering system will default to manual steering mode, allowing the vehicle to be steered in a safe and controlled manner. Loss of power steering assist is unlikely to be associated with accidents at higher speeds, as the amount of assist supplied is inversely proportional to vehicle speed. Loss of power steering assist would require higher steering effort, especially at lower speeds, which may result in an increased risk of a crash.
Remedy
Ford Motor Company has authorized your dealer to update the power steering control module to prevent loss of steering assist while driving due to a Motor position sensor fault.
